Ancestor List for Unknown (Rogers) FitzRoger
The ancestor list uses the "ahnen" numbering system and presents seven generations in plain text. There are no images or colors. This makes it well-suited for printing when you're doing offline research.

Compact Family Tree
This alternative tree view is packed with eight generations — up to 254 ancestors — along with birth and death dates and locations. The downside is that it's not a conventional tree format; it may take a couple minutes to orient yourself.

Descendant List
This shows up to five generations of children and grandchildren of Unknown along with their spouses.

DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants
Genetic genealogy is the new frontier. Our two DNA views are designed to help you use genetic testing to confirm and expand Unknown's genealogy. The DNA Ancestors page shows the specific ancestors from whom Unknown gets his Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA. Especially helpful for some serious genetic genealogists is the inheritance pattern for Unknown's X chromosome, also shown here.
The DNA Descendants page shows exactly who has inherited Unknown's testable DNA.

DNA Ancestor Confirmation Aid
This tool helps you take things a step beyond the DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants views. The ambitious goal: scientific confirmation of each parent-child relationship in Unknown's tree. This is still fairly complex. WikiTree is working on tools that will make it simpler.

Family Group Sheet
This page illustrates nuclear families based on marriages. It's especially handy when someone had children from more than one marriage.

Global Family Reunion Connection
This is a special tool associated with the Global Family Reunion being planned for this June. It enables you to see Unknown's connection to AJ Jacobs, the organizer of the reunion. Note that the Connection Finder includes relationships through marriage, so it is not a genealogical cousin calculator like our Relationship Finder.

Printer-Friendly Tree
This view parallels the pedigree chart above but it is optimized for printing. It can be used as a fill-in-the-blanks form at a family gathering.

Profile of Unknown
The profile page is the central place for organizing and viewing information and sources on an individual. This tree & tools page is a supplement to it. Whenever you see Unknown's name on WikiTree (and ideally, elsewhere on the Internet!) it will be linked to the profile at http://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Rogers-1794 where Rogers-1794 is Unknown's unique WikiTree ID.

Relationship Finder
Enter Rogers-1794 and any other WikiTree ID to find the genealogical relationship between Unknown and the other person.
It will name the relationship, e.g. "third cousin twice removed," and show the trail of connections to a common ancestor. Although not everyone on WikiTree shares common ancestors, finding and connecting them is our ultimate goal.

Shareable Family Tree
This is a family tree page for Unknown that is designed for sharing on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, etc. Copy and paste the URL http://www.WikiTree.com/treewidget/Rogers-1794/4 into your favorite social network.

Surnames
The surnames page is a quick reference sheet that displays seven generations of Unknown's family names.
Many members share its URL http://www.WikiTree.com/treewidget/Rogers-1794/10
via e-mail, e.g. with a DNA match to ask if the other person recognizes a surname.

If Unknown's DNA (not a family member's or descendant's DNA) has been tested for genealogical purposes the test or tests should be selected here.
